I'm in Thailand and I go with either Shopee or Lazada depending on the prices and shipping promotions. I don't know why they would need so many employees or so many repeating KZread ads.

Like I've seen so many general Shopee ads on KZread. But Lazada will focus on special events and promotions. And Lazada gives free shipping codes every day while Shopee is a bit stingy on that. Once Lazada has acquired new customers they have a better way of keeping the customers engaged and enticing them to buy more items as opposed to Shopee.

It's a shock to me that they're having a hard time keeping their footing in Singapore, when Shopee has a chokehold on Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia. Shopee and Lazada in the Philippines are practically neck and neck, and the fact they can even compete with Tokopedia in Indonesia is huge considering how massive Tokopedia is. I think Singapore's market in general is also quite self limiting because of the size of Singapore's consumer base. But this now explains why I lot of Singaporean shopee employees are being expatriated now to the Philippines.

Growing in the Philippines? lol it's literally dying. Their corrupt and greedy practices are way too much, so much that their competition (Lazada) looks like an angel in comparison. I remember the time when you can use discount coupons, free shipping coupons, and coin deductions all at the same time. It started going downhill when they started to put an "expiration" to the coins earned for every purchase, then they slowly capped the "free" shipping vouchers from 199 pesos to 50 pesos so it's literally more like a shipping voucher now, and lastly Shopee removed the option of using multiple vouchers at the same time entirely. People have to choose whether to apply a shipping discount voucher, item discount voucher, or cashback voucher. They have grown way too fucking greedy Lazada on the other hand allows you to use multiple vouchers AS THEY ALWAYS DID, have a MUCH LOWER delivery fees, better customer service when it comes to returns, gives you coins cashback for every purchase.

In the Philippines, shopee reviews are pretty lazy, sometimes it feels like bots wrote the review and leave random videos and photos unrelated to the product, the opposite for lazada. However shopee has more obscure product options while Lazada has far more quality options. In terms of full transparency of what the shops/ sellers are selling and the product you receive is pretty much 50/50. You have to rely on your own intuition whether or not to trust a shop by either their seller rating or the reviews you see on the product page, both unreliable as I've mentioned before, some or maybe most reviews on the product page are random non-sense left by reviewers while giving the product a high rating, definitely skewing the seller rating's trustworthiness.

Not surprising, because in Indonesia, Shopee overspent in advertisements and discounts and promotional events. Whatever the excuses, no businesses - including startups - will survive in the long-run when they fail in making money. Then I think the qualities of the merchandises and the merchants are also sometimes questionable, and this made me buy stuffs online at Shopee only if there's no other alternatives.

The fall of the share price doesn't means the company have failed. There are speculators that push up the share price to unrealistic value.

In Indonesia, I believe Shopee is also hit by INDONESIAN POLICY of no-foreign-goods-allowed. It started a few months ago, when many offline clothes sellers complained to Indoensian government that their sale drops all-time low because of TIK TOK online shop. Indonesia then worked fast to annihilate Tiktok shop. But others ecommerce falls victims. For example, AliExpress in China is now FORBIDDEN to send goods directly to Indonesia.

Lazada app is very confusing I don't like it very difficult to navigate. Shoppee for the win at least in Mindanao.

The greatest downfall for these Chinese companies is the fact they tend to hire their own people for strategic roles. Hence many such companies cannot expand and do well overseas, unlike other MNCs where they think global hire local. TikTok is now helmed by a Singaporean so that definitely helps to curb such practices. But if the current CEO is replaced by a Chinese, then I think make no difference.

Woahhhhh I rly liked how this video was made! It felt like a lottt of effort was put into it, good job!!

They're one of the two e-commerce giants in Indonesia. I think their expansionist idealism actually help them keep standing.

Very well presented! I enjoyed being educated about a company I use frequently here in Thailand.

Bro... the editing is crazy. Content and analysis itself is superb. This should be 1M + viewers. Keep it up bro you're lit! 🔥

I really like this video, is a really good story outside the US/Europe/China and a few other countries. Also with this video I noticed for first time than Shopee has a site here in Chile, but now more like a facade of a marketplace 😅 Here in Latin America is very different how we shop online, with mostly local chains like (in my country), Falabella, Ripley, Paris and Lider (Wallmart) with and hybrid store/marketplace model; while the only one dominant pan-american company, Mercado Libre (or Meli), is expanding from the marketplace though other areas like finance with Mercado Pago. And really that's all, local retail and Meli, while others like Amazon or more recently Temu, are wayyyy behind the rest. A well done video 😀

damn this one hell of fine documentary.. the storytelling, the story flow, the planning, you know where to slow down a bit and you know where to drop the bomb.. keep it up bro..

Stock price does not really reflect business performance. It just reflecting how bullish people are toward the future.

We are more focus on stock market

Shopee is doing so well in malaysia.

Been trying to get info on Singapore for a long time...amazing insights...do more on Singaporean companies. Love the pho joke...nice one...been learning Vietnamese so that hit home....😂...

I think the title is misleading; Shopee didn't 'fall'. It still operates in SG today and has a large market share in the ecommerce industry. Singaporeans use it much more than they do other platforms like Amazon or Lazada, and as many of the comments point out, it's still hugely popular in many of the SEA countries. Sea Group even closed 2023 profitable. While you may argue that Tiktok shop is catching up quickly, it would be disingenuous to characterise Shopee as a failing platform, as many here seem to infer from your video. Granted their stock price has tanked, it was more a result of a correction of an overinflated valuation following a speculative run-up in the post-covid bull run.

Great research / story planning / editing / insightful. Well Done.

I can probably make a full-on review on how good this video is. This is probably the first random 20-min vid I watched that made me immediately subscribe to the creator.

Shopee is the powerhouse here in Vietnam. I live in an apartment complex with 11 buildings, 2 years ago I had 1 shipper (deliveryman), 1 years ago there were 2 shippers, and now there are 3 of them to deliver the huge amount of things everyday. They are just from one of many delivery partners of Shopee. It’s so crazy to think about how many things we click and buy…

Subbed bro, what a great docu drama. Keep up the good work and make more!

Shopee will fare better if they move up the scale, increasing the margin by diversifying into private label or supporting more influencers in brand development to increase brand equity. Focus on growing low hanging fruits instead of planting trees everywhere.

Honestly Shopee it's the tackiest e-commerce, so messy user interface, cannot replace Indonesia's original "Tokopedia" which still considered as classy for its reliability and no clutter UI.

Why u so sour?

My community in Malaysia got a sour taste towards Shopee due to its large sum and repetitive ads. Imagine walking in public and you keep hearing it, it drove everyone mad

Your composition of a business news is the best I've seen in Singapore! 👍👍👍. Your narrative and accent beats many of the local news media!

The editing for this video is amazing. Keep it up chun weng!

I miss the old Lazada and Shopee sales, when sellers were actually able to sell products as much as 50% off or even lower, and it's nowhere like right now where only the cheapest products are being sold at 15-20% off, back in 2016-2018 I was able to buy my tablet monitor at 40% off, a karaoke machine at 50% off, my old Nvidia GTX 970 at 40% off; it was better than shopping at the mall even if online shopping in SEA was still quite scary back then unlike the US where online shopping had been the norm for a while.

a documentary that CNA would never report

I miss the old shopee where the discount, cashback and free shipping voucher are still real vouchers and stackable, not some fishy business trick. I used to look up for the double digit date and payday sales to buy my items but not anymore. Oh today is payday sale? Cool whatever.

Holy Sh.. This one is the best explanation so far, keep up the good works man! subscribed!

Speculative share

I saw a psychiatrist for some anxiety symptoms. She offered me the most comforting words I could have heard: This isn't the first time I've heard someone asking for help from a mental health professional mention working at shopee. And it won't be the last.

She could be just comforting you, her statement was not necessarily true.

kudos to the efforts made to this video! I can say that this makes sense as I worked with Lazada and shopee from 2018-2022 💯💯

"Phonomenal", hahaa love it man. Thanks for the informative video! - from a Vietnamese living in Singapore.

Really well structured explanation - enjoyed it. Thank you and well done.

Hi FYI: another reason why the app fell on the Philippines was an endorser was hired for the app but this endorser was a vocal supporter of the son of a dictator who is running for presidency (who btw won) and a lot of people actually boycott the app

Why does everything have to be political when it comes to you libtards? Shoppee went down because of non-existing refunds, delayed deliveries & the scam with Blackpink's concert.

PHO nomenal made me subscribe. haha. BTW, great video! Here in the Philippines, I shop more in Lazada because of their more efficient shipping time in the provincial areas.

Shopee is probably the largest e-commerce platform in Brazil rn, but some others with better services/products are a close second. They just can’t match the Shopee prices

I'm really grateful to Forrest for creating Shopee. It's honestly the best thing to come after youtube. You can literally get anything you want at the best prices, at least in Malaysia. Even Lazada can't compete with it in terms of its range of products/services.

Why there is no sources for the video in the description?

The quality of your content is insane, almost feels like I'm watching a CNA documentary LOL. Keep it up!

Shopee is actually the most dominant online store in the Philippines, to a point that some people thought it's locally owned. The only competitor is has is Lazada, which ironically came first but is struggling for a 2nd place ever since Shopee had stabilized. I don't see Shopee going down the drain if on other countries it's dominating way too good for the consumers.

@@lordlopikong6940 and that is yet to be contended. For now, Shopee's search engine and product recommendation is currently unrivaled, which heavily puts Lazada to shame on that very category.

Stock manipulation by syndicates was everywhere during the Covid 19 pandemic. Same thing happened to glove stocks.

Amazing production quality and the story telling!

From Thailand. The customer support does not work at all. Even though we reported scamming and provided evidence, customer support only asked us to report to the police. Even we reported to SG HQ, and told the customer support it was hurting their own brand, no action at all. It was shocking. Not surprised to see the result, in the end, the source suppliers are all the same, and only the service makes a difference. Thanks for the insightful sharing.
